"Thank you Miss Kayla," he whispered in response to her praise, and he sank into his chair, his shoulders slumping a bit. Without thinking twice about it, he pulled the vial from earlier out of his pocket and, not bothering to hide what he was doing, swallowed down half of it. His heartbeat was too fast already. It was in danger of skipping off a beat and then... well, he didn't want to pass out in this class. Besides... it wasn't like Kayla Winters wouldn't realize what he was doing. "And I... I'm sorry."
Kayla gave Helios a fleeting glance before standing up and sitting down beside Raiden. "What are you sorry for? Because you didn't tell me about your condition?" She shrugged her shoulders and gave him a pat on the shoulder, "What business was it of mine? It was your right to tell whoever you wanted" Kayla looked over to the other students now taking on the boggart. "At least you managed to defeat your fear. As usual I let mine get the better of me."
